The Secret Drawer.

In idle mood touched the springs
That opened wide the secret drawer,
To gaze on halfforgotten things
That walked the memories of yOre;
Small scraps of letters loosely tied
With silken bands of faded blue,
Containing words of love and pride,
Wrung from my heart when life was
new.
A lock Of radiant, golden hair,
That once adorned glorious head
Of young angel heavenly fair
Now long since numbered with the
dead
A dark brown tress-the sole rem aims
OF brave woman lost and gone,
The partner of my joys and pains,
Whose smile made sunlight where il
shone.
I sighed, kissed them like a fool
Although perhaps the fool was wise
With wisdom learn'd in sorrows school
Who saw the truth through all disguise
And taking counsel with my thought
l asked myself, mid haze of tears.
Why these fond relics, fancy fraIght,
OuOuIu live ooJOuu NY opoA VI yOoio'
Live, with their tale of thought, or deed,
For merchandise in scandals mart,
To satisfy the clamorous greed
Of sclibblerS who'd dissect my heart,
When lay slumbering in the mold,
Unwilling of Fame's noisy blast
And sell for miserable gold
The sacred secrets of the Past?
To build romanees from my life.
Or weave the lies that seem like truth,
From shadows of long ended strife
And unknown agonies of youth?
Take them, ye flames! such fate Is best
All but the lock of hair l crave
To wear upon my living breast,
And perish with me in the grave.
Charles Mackay in Temple Bar.

THE European monarchs find it very
hard to continue an understanding for
any length of time. First France and
Russia we're hand in-glove with each
other. and growls from across the Rhine
were heard; then an understanding be-
tween Russia and Germany was report
ed, and France was dissatisfied Now it
is announced that hereafter Germany
will act henceforth independently of
Russia; that the alliance between tie
three Emperors will be dissolved, and
that there will be no Russo-German al
lance.

are "fast winning the entire State" If
this should be so. no one would have
the right to complain, for then there
would exist in each locality the senti+

trained from mentioning the fact that
Governor Hoadly's administration over
drew its account something over half a
million dollars, and that in spite of this
the Republicans engineered the State
through without a financial crisis. Had
be made such an assertion he would
have told the truth, but his failure to
mention such things is the great dis
tinctive feature of his campaign.

DUN & co.'s TRADE REVIEW.
Everything Turns on the Crop Prospects,
The General Outlook.

Everything Turns on the Crop Prospects,
The General Outlook.
New YORK, Aug. 20 r. G. Dun & Co. S
weekly review of trade, says Everything
now turns on the crop prospects Considera-
BILE injury is ne longer disputed but esti-
mates differ widely. Latest government re-
ports point to a probable yield of corn
slightly less than that of last year. The
movement of grain from the northwest is re-
markably large. Buffalo July receipts by
lake have never been exceeded but once,
while the latest report of east-bound rail
shipments from Chicago is the smallest for
some years. At Philadelphia rails seem
weeker, pig-iron is also shaded. Coal stocks
accumulate, and prices weaker Coffee ad-
vances again, but does not meet expectations
Wool is in better demand. Cotton goods
continue firm with a full demand The
trade in boots and shoes is hardly satifac-
tory, orders from corn growing regions hav-
been affected by injury to crops
Stringency of money increases at several
interior points, and reports OF unsatisfactory
collections grow more numerous. But the
purchase of bonds, the shipments of gold and
the sales of securities abroad appear to avert
pressure for the present. Exports IN July
were more satisfactory. The possibility OF
important failures resulting from recent dar-
ing speculations, and the chance OF large de-
mand for money from the west and south, are
not to safely overlooked

WMNiPEG, Manitoba, Aug. -. The first
blow has been struck against the Red River
Valley road. Saturday an injunction to restrain
the contractors from crossing certain lots ON
the line owned by one Browning, an agent OF
the Canadian Pacific railroad, was applied
for and granted. The application was ex-
parte and stands until next Wednesday,
when a motion will be- made to con-
tinue. A messenger from the scene bears
the important news that the entire outfit of
the contractors turned out and by working
like beavers all Saturday succeeded in con-
structing { Tfc grade across the lots for which
the injunction was issued. There Is great re-
joicing over the news
The telegram announcing the issue Of the
injunction was handle to the contractor
about 3 o'clock, but he tore it up saying he
guessed it would have to wait The people
in the city are fairly wild with delight over
the news They are ready to turn out to a
man to back up Norquay and his government
IL it will only afford them chance
LATER Premier NorYuay has telegraphed
his absolute approval Of the action OF the
government and the contractors in defying
the injunction and grading across lots

coed at once to Winnipeg, via the Canadian
Pacific railway, should the signs of conflict
in that quarter not disappear. Mr.. Norquay
explained to United Press reporter the
Manitoba situation, and detailed the causes
which now promise to produce n rupture be-
tween the federal and provincial authorities
in that country. He has been I'm St Paul
and Chicago for the purpose of raising tenn
porary loan on the credit of the provincial gov
eminent for the purpose of the new road He
stated as he was leaving the city that he
would do all he could 10 prevent trouble, and
would even go to Ottawa for that purpose
before returning horne, If necessary. How
